"CAPTIVE" -Mando (Armand Reyes Lucaas)

I felt the rush flowing through my veins. What am I supposed to do? Wherever I look, there's trouble in sight. I need help, I really do. Oh please offer your hands and pull me from death. It's not yet my time, it can't be over! "Calm down! I'll call for help." A soft voice from nowhere quietly found its way on this cold, dark place. Lying here in this pitch black space, I can't dare be steady. "Who are you? I'm begging you to help me." My arms are well raised waiting for that someone to suddenly reach out and take my aching cold hands. Footsteps on a watery floor were all I could hear. It was gone in a second. It was a few minutes of deafening silence that followed. Waiting.......and waiting........but no one came (Gunshot) "What was that? Oh no! I can't die now, I just can't!" Heavy footsteps are getting nearer. A conversation I can't understand turned louder and louder. Suddenly, a bright light blinded my eyes. Two men covered with weapons stood in front of me, looked at me as if I have done something wrong. Their eyes were burning with anger. "Quantre de ista landa go halumik! Orto de amoga bin laskar buro!" One man held me up then threw me like a trash. "Stop it! Oh please!" I begged for mercy, only to be turned down. The other man left with some random words. I knew that it was about time. (Gunshot) Alone and helpless, I will soon face death. A drop of tear left my eye. It's all done.
